Ex-Amazon here.
Leaked documents aren't necessary to know that Amazon — among other FAANG companies — stack rank. But I will say that when Forte (the system used for performance reviews) first rolled out about 4-5 years ago, it was initially intended as a way to solicit feedback from your peers: and it was used that way.
At first.
But of course, within a few years, the system evolved and was eventually tied to your compensation.

- yftsui 4y agoForte was never a system for performance review, it was for peer compliments to make you feel good. The actual performance rating never use Forte - the performance review always happen before Forte due date.
- throw1230 4y agoIt's not tied to your compensation or ranking. Your forte, when you discuss it with your manager, should give you some growth areas that you should improve. If in your next talent review, you haven't made much progress, that will contribute to your ranking naturally but that's about it
